The venue was the site of the famous Kosta’s Restaurant, run by Pam and Kosta Talimanidis, 1976 to 2003. In November 2015, after a 12 year hiatus from the space, Pam and Kosta returned, with their son Dominic, to continue a tradition of restaurants on the Great Ocean Road which spans nearly 5 decades. Ipsos Restaurant has held one hat status from The Age Good Food Guide from 2019 through to 2024.
